Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Kasbah of Agadir, Agadir Oufella or Agadir Oufla (in tachelhit: ⴰⴳⴰⴷⵉⵔ ⵓⴼⵍⵍⴰ Agadir Ufella) is a fortress and historical monument located in the ancient city of Agadir (Morocco), a large part of which was damaged by the earthquake in 1960. The fort is located on top of a mountain more than 236 meters from the sea, north of Agadir near the current port.

This mosque is in the center of Agadir, not far from the beach. It is a large mosque which was inaugurated in September 1969 by King Hassan II. Ten years before, the whole city of Agadir had been destroyed by a great earthquake, and nothing was left. It was therefore decided to convert the place into a place of tourist vacation, but also there remained only the population of the old village which had not died in the earthquake, and the faithful needed a mosque. Regrettably, if you are not a Muslim, you cannot enter the mosque. They are usually wonderful inside, with decorations on the walls and ceilings, but you can only admire it from the outside.

Stop 3

The municipal market of Agadir is called "Souk El Had" in Arabic and is far from the tourist area of the beach and hotels (for our greatest pleasure!). It is not in the center of Agadir for the simple and unique reason that there is no historic center, the city was completely destroyed by an earthquake in the 1960s and the center has no been rebuilt. The souk is therefore on the border of the city, it took us 30 minutes on foot to get there from the coast. It's a huge market where you can really find everything, including handicrafts made in Agadir, in the Atlas or even in the Sahara (spices, clothes, carpets, etc.).

You absolutely have to go there if you ever visit Agadir.
